Let's Search!

As midnight descended, Austin and his wives returned home, seeking solace and respite after their endeavors. The cover of night enveloped them as they retreated to the sanctuary of their abode, weary yet content, ready to embrace the embrace of sleep.

"I'm so tired," Sakura.

"You didn't even do anything expect killing some small fries." Yukikaze.

"Anyway, you girls take a bath while I will take care of this matter at hand." Austin said as he took Ingrid in his arms and went toward a vacant bedroom.

"I have a feeling that we will have a new sister soon." Violet.

"Well, he has so many wives after all, so it doesn't matter if he adds one more." Asagi.

"Indeed."

They nodded and went to the bathroom to clean their bodies in the warm water.

While Austin took Ingrid to the vacant bedroom and put her in the bed.

"What to do with her..." Austin mused, contemplating his next move. "Nevertheless, let's transport her to Avalon; I can attend to matters more effectively there."

Then he touched her body before both of them disappeared.

Once both of them appeared in Avalon, Austin took her to the huge mansion where his other wives resided.

When he reached the mansion, he got inside through the gate and walked toward the door.

But on the way, he saw one of his wives watering the flowers.

"Dear! You are here~"

"Yeah, I missed you honey~"

The woman was Mi-Kyung Cho his third wife. When she was watering the flowers she noticed him walking toward her so she stopped and looked at him happily and greeted him like a good wife.

Although he was carrying Ingrid, it didn't stop him from kissing her on her lips which was something made her feel happy and warm.

"Fret not," Austin reassured, his voice carrying a hint of promise. "Once this mission is complete, I'll whisk you all away to explore the world to your heart's content."

Hearing that Kyung Cho's eyes sparkled as she actually along with the others felt quite bored being here with nothing to do around expect watching the TV and the other things that could be done in the house beside training a little.

Austin knew that his wives would be bored by just being here so he thought to bring them out to enjoy the world the way they like.

"New sister?" She said as she looked at Ingrid.

"Don't know, maybe or maybe not,"

"Anyway, come on let's go inside, I want to get this matter done first before having some time with you."

Kyung Cho felt warm and sweet inside with his words, so she nodded and walked beside him happily.

When he got inside his mansion, he went to an empty bedroom.

The mansion was like a palace from inside as it was so luxurious as if the royal family of some country lived here.

Along the way, Austin encountered his other wives: Lilith, Eve, Ava, Ruby, Judy, Victoria, Stella, and Tina, the latter donning her maid outfit, a personal preference that reflected her dedication to serving him in her unique way.

They greeted him and gave him kisses as they missed him although the time flowed slower in this dimension than the outside but they felt like every minute passed was so long as if a day had passed.

Once Austin arrived at the bedroom, he entered and put Ingrid in the bed.

Now you are asking, why did he bring her here?

Well, that's because Austin felt something inside her, her soul I mean, it was like she was being possessed by something or in other words, something was corrupting her soul. It was dark, black and foul.

It as a bit similar to Violet when he broke the mind control on her, but this time it was deep rotted in her soul.

Why bothering himself to help her?

Well, first she is a woman, second he wants to understand the composition of this thing that is corrupting her soul.

He knew that it wasn't a magic spell at all as it didn't have any traces of mana at all like any other spell or even a spiritual energy, so the only thing that came to his mind was that it was an ability, an ability that was able to corrupt the soul and enable the owner of the ability to control the affected person however he liked.

So if Austin could understand the composition of it, so he could create a spell more powerful than this ability.

Tina who was standing behind Austin was looking at him with obsessed eyes as she felt that Austin was more handsome right now when he had this serious look on his face.

She bit her lips as she felt like jumping on him right now. Just the thought made her wet and a lewd smell that came from her spread in the air.

Austin who was thinking deeply snapped out of his thoughts when he smelled the lewd smell in the air.

'Did she just got horny looking at me? Women are strange creatures.' He thought.

He shook his head slightly then smiled at her teasingly.

Tina who noticed his smile blushed hard as she knew she was exposed.

"Anyway, Tina."

"Yes, master~" she replied with sexy and alluring voice.

"... Don't let anyone come inside as I want to concentrate a little." He replied after some seconds as he felt shivers in his spine when he heard her voice.

'Damn, so hot!"

Tina nodded and went out of the room leaving him alone with the sleeping Ingrid who didn't wake up till now.

"Now, let's get started." He said as he touched her head with his hand, then suddenly his eyes glowed before strange runes appeared in his eyes rotating.

He took a deep breath, then...

[Soul Searcher!]

The runes in his eyes suddenly rotated very fast before Austin felt his surroundings changed.

He looked around and saw that he was in a luxurious bedroom but there was no light and the only light that was lighting the place was the moonlight.

"So this is her soul space." He muttered.

He looked around and found it was just a normal bedroom not something creepy just luxurious enough for a rich person to sleep in.

"Then, let's search."
